Illinois Workers’ Compensation law allows you to recover for repetitive trauma injuries such as carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel.
You must prove that your work activities caused or contributed to your repetitive injuries. Most doctors will say that they cannot determine the cause for repetitive injuries, but that certain work activities certainly will aggravate carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel. That is enough to get payment for medical bills and to be paid permanent partial disability.
If your work activities cause you pain remember to tell your doctor and describe the type of work you perform and the specific duties that trigger the flare ups.
